Seems like a prank or a poorly trained assailant. On a normal day, his throat would have been slit before the security details move on him. Terrorist everywhere!

He intend to cut off his head. Though he was very slow. Maybe he first of all screamed Allahu Akb.... , And the security jumped on him immediately before completing the pronouncement. embarassed

This guy don't have common sense.... How will you try to assassinate a president with a knife when you know you can't get close enough without being noticed or stopped... And how many times will you stab him before he die? We all know that you won't get close enough to stab him in a vital area...
That was a dumb move

Staged... To whip up emotions.
The camera actually followed the assailant.
Like it was directed.

You also believed that India was banned from football because the ball changed to a lion everytime it got near the keeper.

I hope he is not trying to emulate the man in France that slapped Emmanuel Macron. This is Africa, he will be killed and forgotten and no law will fight for him.

How did an unknown man with a knife get so close to a sitting president of a country that's in a war with diehard jihadists? No metal detectors? No electronic checks?
African leaders should ramp up modern security measures around themselves..
The Malian president is not that pro France. It's only a matter of time before they eliminate him..

That was very poor of the security details. If it was a gun, the President would have gone. That was really lucky of the President. Praise the name of the Lord

Don't know much about Mali politics but I think the journalist said "Goita who has overthrown two presidents in the past year"

If he truly did this he should expect assassination attempts daily.

Slicing the neck is the sure way to kill him

Staged. Someone walked in with a knife amid tight security and was unseen? And by the way, one stab in the neck would have eliminated him; so how could he have missed when no one stopped him? The narrators and actors just want us to believe the president "survived an assassination attempt" to whip up sentiment.

He doesn't want to kill him. If wants him dead he would have done that with a single slit before they can stop him

Poorly scripted. Maybe he wants a reason to extend the military hold on power
